was an unfortunate. unnecessary and
blameworthy act. Not only were two
colts, Ben Ali and Quito, left
at the post, but half a dozen others, Rupert
included, got away so bad that they never
were included in the race. A brute that
was never backed by his owner, trainer or
stable attendants nor by the general pub
lie, was given flashing start by fisgrant
error of Judgment, If nothing more, and
the great Suburban race became a farce
Haggin stood to win $4,000 with Ben Ali,
and the public would have won $500, 600.
Congressman Scott and his friends stood
to win about $4,000 on Quito, and race
goers perhaps 100000 on straight and
place bets. There was no excuse whatever
for dropping the flag. The Jockey Club
don't accuse Caldwell of criminal intent.
They repudiate the idea that he was tam
pered with by the book-makers, and say il
was simply an error of judgment The fact
is, Caldwell made several bad starts within
the past week, and the book-makers have
invariably profited thereby

he held shotgun in his hand, which was
accidentally discharged, the contents pass

not injuring her. He says his father then
made an attempt to draw his pistol, when
he fired the other load at him, though
but two or three of the birdshot took
effect. One OF them, however, entered
the right eye, destroying the sight
OF 1t. The wounded man was
interviewed to-day. He denies the above
saying that be was on the premises a hum
dred yards distant, when he heard a gun
discharged in the house, followed by the
appearance of the boy who excitedly ex-
claimed that he had almost shot his
mother, and would blow the top of his

most immediate discharge of the gun. He

Placed Where the Law Directs.
Copyright 1887, by he California associated Press
New YORK, June 2Oth.-The World s
Washington special says The flag topic
has not been altogether exhausted. A
movement is on foot to require the War
Department to provide better quarters for
the flags and have them opened to the
inspection of the public, as the law d.
rected. If the War Department refuses TO
do this, when Congress meets a resolution
would be-offered in the Senate to investi-
gate the reason why. The law is clear on
this point, but at present it is necessary for
any one wishing to inspect the flags to first
get written permit signed by the Secre-
tary of War. 1t is thought the flag episode
will be made subject for Congressional
inquiry next winter in any event. 1t is
believed certain correspondence relating TO
the issuance of the first order to return the
flags has been suppressed While it is
empbatically denied at the White House
that the subject was discussed by the
Cabinet before the order to return the flags
was given, it is charged in other quarters
with almost equal emphasis that the
Cabinet discussed the question at length.

LONDON, June 20th.-In the House OF
Commons this evening Sir Henry Holland,
Secretary of State for the Colonies, replying
to Mr.. Howard, said that Sir Samuel Rowe,
Governor OF Sierra Leone, had informed
the Government that the conference held
between the French and natives had re-
suited in the hoisting OF the French flag at
Bariboo, on Gambia river While not
under a British protectorate, he said that
Bariboo was within the sphere of British
influence, and the native Chiefs were under
a treaty of obligations to England. The
establishment of a French protectora.e
would have an important bearing on Brit
isb influence in that district Sir Henry
said that dispatches were being exchanged

BENSON, June 20th.-The fact of the hos
tile Apaches not showing up or committing
any fresh depredations causes many to be-
lieve that they have found their way back
to their reservation and are being kept in
hiding by their people No definite report
OF their Whereabouts has been received since
they were seen a week ago crossing the
San Pedro river near Reddington and
heading for San Carlos. They were then on
foot, and as no horses have been reported
stolen in the neighborhood since that time
it is presumed they have made their way
back to the reservation on foot.
Captain Mason, of the Fourth Cavalry,
was in Benson yesterday, and when inter
viewed by your reporter gave as his opin-
ion that the hos;iles had gone back to their
reservation, and that nothing more would
be heard of them until reported by some
of their own people.
More trouble is anticipated when the
rainy season commences, which will be in
about month.

WASHINGTON, June GOTH Special. i
The prevailing impression is that Secretary
Lamar will be appointed to the vacancy
upon the United States Supreme Bench
caused by the Death of the late Justice
Woods. To your correspondent, who
questioned him on the subject, the Secre-
tary said he had no more information than
was contained in the newspapers. He had
heard nothing from the President about it.
The general belief is that the vacancy will
not be filled until next fall, Just prior to
the re-assembling of the Court, and that
Lamar will be appointed. The President
is adverse to putting any dead timber" on
the Supreme Bench. He wants to make
the very best selection possible. and as the
appointment is to be awarded to the South,
aud it is known that the President regards
Lamar as the greatest representative of that
section, there IS reason to believe he will
make the appointment.

in the Bay.

SAN Francisco, June 20th-A pleasure
party of five persons-two ladies and three
gentlemen-left Union-street wharf yester-
day afternoon at about o'clock for q sail
on the bay. The wind was blowing hard
down the channel at the time and the water
was ehoppy. An old fisherman who was
mending his nets on the dock warned the
party not to attempt to cross the channel
in their light craft, but they only laughed
at him, and chided him for his fears They
rowed out short distance and then hoisted
sail. The little boat bounded along bravely
over the rough waves until it had reached
about half the distance between the wharf
and Alcatraz, when she was struck by a
sudden gust of wind and capsized All of
her occupants were drowned. The unfor-
tunate party consisted of John Roth and
his wife, who live at 1 Sheppard place, off
Mason street, near Washington; Annie
Bartholoma, aged 18 years, living at 1O17
